After Gregory Harris made it 3,700 to go preflop, he and two others went to a flop of 9♠10♠6♥.
Harris led out for 7,000 and was called only by Salim El Boustani to continue to the turn 8♥.
Harris then gathered his chips and moved all in for over 20,000- which covered El Boustani and sent him into the tank.
After over a minute, El Boustani finally set out his stack to put himself at risk and the cards were tabled.
Salim El Boustani: 6♠4♦
Gregory Harris: A♥A♦
Harris was well in the lead with his aces, he just needed to dodge a six, four, or seven for a chop, but the river was the brick K♦ to award him the pot and eliminated El Boustani.

Andrew Shields opened to 1,100 from under-the-gun and was called by Ilia Karamelo to his left, but then Don Salandanan three-bet to 6,000 right behind.
Shields tossed out the necessary chips to make the call, but then Karamelo moved all in for close to 20,000.
Salandanan thought for a few seconds before he also moved all in and Shields quickly got out of the way.
Ilia Karamelo: K♠K♥
Don Salandanan: Q♠Q♥
Karamelo was a big favorite with his kings, and the runout of J♦7♣6♠8♦2♠ kept it that way to score him the double.
